Consult BERMAD for other Materials of Construction  
or other available specifications.

The BERMAD FP-60F-D/DV Basket Strainers are 
intended to be installed in fire protection pipelines 
primarily to prevent the clogging of fire sprinkler 
nozzles and other debris sensitve components in 
water or foam fire systems.

The BERMAD FP-60F-D/DV is designed for in-line 
maintenance available with a large diameter flushing 
outlet for easy screen cleaning and simple screen 
basket extraction, requiring only cover removal.

The ratio of the FP-60F-D/DV strainer’s basket screen 
area to the inlet pipe area is more than 10:1, ensuring 
continued system performance, a low pressure drop 
and longer intervals between cleaning.

NFPA 11, 13, 15 and 16 standards state that listed strainers 
shall be provided in the main pipeline of all systems 
using nozzles where the water is likely to contain 
obstructive material. 

Features and Benefits

■ 

UL-Listed and ULC size

 for Fire systems 

■ 

Low pressure drop

 – Safety and reliability, ensures firewater 

availability

■ 

Easy in-line maintenance

 – Large diameter flushing valve 

for fast and easy interim cleaning

■ 

Suitable to prevent clogging

 – Nozzles, sprinklers or 

other types of fire system discharge outlets. Designed 
to trap foreign material of 3.2mm (

1

/

8

") diameter or larger

■ 

Large screen basket

 – Large basket area, Increasing 

system reliability and safety

■ 

Suitable for installation in varied orientations

 - Refer to 

installation and maintenance section 

■ 

Compatible for use with corrosive fluids and harsh 
environments

 – High Build Epoxy coated body/cover 

and stainless steel 316 screen

■ 

Suitable for Foam Systems

 – For use with foam 

proportioners or foam generators in compliance with 
NFPA 11 requirements.
